Someone explain to me what Animal Crossing is? Is it like PS Home/Second Life/The Sims, but more charming? I have no idea what it is.
I'd be surprised if the Vita bump next week is much over 100K (if that), but I'll be even more surprised if it's still above 15K by the end of next month.
LOL Vita ain't doing anywhere near 100K. You are really being unrealistic with that prediction. I would love to eat crow and wish for Vita to sell 100k+ and then stabilize around 50K until the end of the year, but that ain't happening.
As others said, stores already dropped the price so the price drop won't have as big an impact. I predicted 25K, but now I'm going down to 20K for vita HW next week and sub 10k by April.
The best Sony can do, given the system selling SW are all multiplat games, is to get 3rd partys to give extra incentive to the vita version. For example, exclusive DLC for One Piece 2 on vita, exclusive modes and DLC for God Eater 2 on vita, and so on. Maybe FFXHD be exclusive or timed exclusive on it.
SCEJ is a joke as a dev studio and overly relies on 3rd parties (according to Kawano), not a fair comparison
Anyone want to translate this?

It seems Inafune is finally talking about Soul Sacrifice vs Monster Hunter.
Well comparison is inevitable, but assuming MH4 does what MHP3 did, SS won't sell 1/10 of MH4, probably not even 1/20, so a little bit of humbleness would go a long way.
Also, PSP to hit 20 million and PS3 to hit 10 million this year? PSP is pretty much certain and I think PS3 will if (when?) Sony finally drops the price of the machine to below Y19,999.
